now_o publish_v by_o the_o collector_n but_o i_o foresee_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o obviate_v two_o objection_n that_o will_v be_v make_v against_o these_o admonition_n first_o that_o mr._n

to_o any_o church-rendring_a course_n that_o they_o will_v forsake_v he_o and_o not_o follow_v he_o a_o step_n second_o that_o what_o they_o interpret_v as_o contradiction_n be_v in_o truth_n no_o
